Agastache cana ‘Zuni’ is a very special, compact, drought-tolerant perennial prized for its spikes of vibrant magenta-pink blooms and its sweet, minty fragrance. Also known as Hummingbird Mint, this variety draws clouds of pollinators, especially hummingbirds, butterflies, and native bees, from midsummer into fall.
 
The Zuni selection is especially heat-tolerant and compact, growing neatly to about 18–24 inches tall. Its aromatic gray-green foliage releases a mint-anise scent when brushed, making it a standout choice for borders, rock gardens, and pollinator plantings. Blooms appear continuously through the hottest months, bringing color and movement to dry or low-maintenance gardens.
